Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m gonna take my recent Diana Wynne Jones cravings as a sign I should finally finish the Dalemark Quartet. I think I remember DROWNED AMMET and THE SPELLCOATS well enough to get by on, but all I remember of CART AND CWIDDER is:

• I read it last of the three. (This isn‘t a series where that matters.)

• It left me excited for the finale. (Obviously I didn‘t act on that.)

• A cwidder wasn‘t what I thought it was. (I think I imagined an animal.)

Cozy Sunday morning with kitty snuggles and a new book. This is supposed to be one of DWJ‘s more serious books, so we‘ll see if I like it!

This has to be one of my favorite of Jones's books. The characters and their plight in this novel (and it's series) really captured my interest and imagination. #magic #music #magicmusic #bard #cwidder #caravan

Whew! This book was long! And the ending was even longer than I expected! Out of all 4 books from the Dalemark Quartet, Drowned Ammet is by far my favorite. Followed by Cart and Cwidder, and then Crown of Dalemark. With Spellcoats being the last.

I‘m currently reading The Crown of Dalemark by Diana Wynne Jones. But I found this little gem in my parents house. I wanted to tag it on the heading but the ISBN is linked to a different book. Sorry Litsy 😅

I‘m Catholic but I grew up with chinese traditions too and I believe in feng shui and energy 😅 it‘s a little too late to read this since it‘s almost the end of the year, but what the heck I‘m still curious and I‘m a year of the tiger too.

Today is a rest day for me. I injured my left ankle so I‘ve been doing R.I.C.E. (rest-ice-compression-elevate) and meds for it.

Despite the injury, I managed to make some Pao de Queijo. It‘s pretty easy. I love the chewiness of it. Usually my go to cheese is feta but I used Parmesan and mozzarella this time around.

I‘m slowly reading the fourth book of The Dalemark Quartet. Since it‘s the last book, I don‘t want it to end too soon.

Saw this post from @booksandbedandtea and decided to have fun with it too!

I would keep: my books, my cat and tea! Love tea!

I‘m currently reading #thecrownofdalemark from #thedalemarkquartet . It‘s the fourth and last book of the series. And I‘m so happy to be reading about Mitt again!

The hardest part of being a bookworm is when you feel so excited about a certain series but nobody you know has read it. So you can‘t really talk to anyone about it except to air it out in social media. Another struggle is finding the people who actually like to read #highfantasy. It‘s a lonely world out here 😅 #soloreads

So far I‘ve given the first 2 books of the series, 5 stars! Diana Wynne Jones is a badass fantasy author!

On my third Dalemark Quartet. I‘m totally addicted to these series!

Currently at 23%! I‘m giddy with excitement! 😬 I am loving this series! #thedalemarkquartet
